1.	Read the following statement and explanation and answer as per the options given below: Assertion : HNO_(3) is a stronger acid than HNO_(2) Reason : In HNO_(3) there are two nitrogen-to-oxygen bonds whereas in HNO_(2) there is only one.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion If both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. If assertion is correct but reason is false. If assertion is incorrect but reason is correct. Solution :Among OXYACIDS , the ACIDIC character increases with increases in oxidation state of the central ATOM. Hence assertion is incorrect. Structure of `HNO_(2) : O-H-N=O`, Strcuture of `HNO_(3)`: LTBGT The assertion is true but the reason is wrong as can be clearly seen from the above structures.
